Simple mudbox question

snow

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to flatten the bottom of a mesh in mudbox. For example, you have a rock you've sculpted and grabbed all over the place, but you want the bottom to be flat so it sits nicely, does anyone know how this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't you just sculpt it so it was relatively flat and then finish it off with the flatten tool?

What about Scrape brush with Update Plane turned off? It produces perfectly flat surfaces.

take the flatten brush and turn off "update plane" in the properties of the brush...

Not exactly what you asking for. But I would export it to 3ds max, then select the vertices you want planar and flatten them ("make planar: Z" button).

Do this on a lower subdivision level (export one of your lower subdivisions) so its easier to select things in max, easy on your computer, and so it maintains the details of the higer sub-d.

Then, re-import to mudbox as a layer. This way you also have the flexibility of controling how flat you actually want it (with that opacity slider).

Good luck man!
